Ralph Fiennes’s scruffy, balding look: gross-sexy, or just terrible? Posted: 30 Aug 2011 08:58 AM PDT Did you know that Ralph Fiennes is back on the stage? This is nothing new, actually. Ralph is just one of those amazing actors who finds joy in mixing it up between theatre work and film work. He's currently starring in a London production of The Tempest - he's playing Prospero, which doesn't mean anything to me because I've somehow avoided this Shakespeare play my entire life. I'm assuming Prospero is the lead role, and I'm assuming this new look that Ralph is working is for the play. Now, I like my men with some scruff. I like them a bit dirtied up, unshaven, with shaggy hair and a filthy mind. But this scruffy look on Ralph is supremely unappealing. WTF? I'm usually so hot for him. Even when he looks terrifying, even when he's covered in makeup and CGI, I still get hot for him. But somehow, a mangy beard and his receding hairline… it's just not doing anything for me. *sigh* Hopefully, he'll get cleaned up after the show is over (it's done the end of October), in time to promote the hell out of Coriolanus. You want to see the trailer again, don't you? I know you do. Ralph also has a part in a new BBC miniseries that is… just about to premiere, I think (correct me if I'm wrong, British people). It's called Page Eight, and the trailer makes it look funky (and not in a good way): I love Bill Nighy, but… I don't know. Maybe it's just too complicated to be put into trailer form. Last thing: Ralph is still scheduled to work on the new James Bond movie, and new details about the plot are emerging. Apparently, there's a rumor that this Bond film will be called Carte Blanche, and Ralph could possibly be playing a character that is, like, an Irish eco-terrorist…? Or he could be playing the main boss of the eco-terrorists (which sounds more likely). I think it's all about irresponsible waste disposal?

Demi Lovato: “I’ve gained weight. Get over it.” Posted: 30 Aug 2011 08:49 AM PDT
The issue for Demi may have been that her ex Joe Jonas was there that night and she could have been anxious about it. Before Demi had her rehab stint for emotional issues she was dating Joe Jonas and touring with him and his band. Then they broke up, Joe started dating Ashley Greene and Demi was still touring with Joe and the guys. Demi freaked out and punched a backup dancer for some slight last December and got pulled off the tour and sent to rehab. She’s admitted that she was out of line and that she had a nervous breakdown, but she doesn’t blame Joe for it or anything. She told Elle last month “I wouldn't credit my meltdown to a guy. There was so much other stuff in my life.”
All these photos are from July and August this year except for the last one, in the white dress with the side tail thing. That’s from August, 2010. I don’t see that much of a difference and she looks great now. |
Matt Damon loves Gwyneth Paltrow: “She’s a really special actress” Posted: 30 Aug 2011 08:18 AM PDT Today is a very special day! Today is the day that CB finally allowed me to write about her boyfriend, Matt Damon. Usually, CB snaps up these Damon stories faster than Luciana gets knocked up. But not today! I think CB let me have this one because it involves Matt talking about Damn Gwyneth Paltrow, his (gulp) friend. Yes, everybody's favorite buddy/boyfriend/son-in-law, Mr. Normal and Grounded, is friends with Dame Goop, mistress of the humble-brag ("The Dalai Lama says my tofu is the best."). Anyway, Matt and Gwyneth worked together years ago in The Talented Mr. Ripley. They were friends before that, of course, because Matt and Ben Affleck were stuck on each other as BFFs, and Ben and Gwyneth had been dating for a few years by then. Years passed, everybody got married to other people and they all became parents and now Gwyneth and Matt are working together again - in Soderbergh's Contagion. I really don't want to see Contagion - not because I'm scared that it could happen in real life (if it happens, it happens), but because I think the film will trigger my hypochondria. Even the trailer triggers it a little bit, and I'm sitting here feeling very itchy. Anyway, Matt still adores Gwyneth. And he'll make you nauseous when he describes her skills:
[From Access Hollywood] Of course Matt is a pro. Of course he would never bad-mouth a costar. Of course he'll say that he likes Gwyneth, and openly praise her, as many celebrities do. That's the thing about Gwyneth - only celebrities like her, I think. Maybe because she's only nice to fellow celebrities? Regarding the rest of his quotes - I think it's a little funny that he still gets questions about Ben Affleck, like they're still connected at the hip or something. I haven’t heard anything about Matt and Ben hanging out in a while - maybe because Matt is always working and Ben is always doing….? Something not involving his wife. And although I would love to see Matt Damon run for office (I really would), I kind of like that he shuts down the speculation immediately instead of flirting with the idea and leading everybody on. (Yes, I'm slightly loonie for Matt - I just never get the chance to let my freak flag fly!) |
Miranda Lambert admits inappropriate attraction with then-married Blake Shelton Posted: 30 Aug 2011 07:54 AM PDT
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy An interview with country singer Miranda Lambert aired on Dateline last night, but I’m finding the excerpt they released online released incredibly frustrating in that it cuts off right before Miranda explains whether she was cheating with then-married Blake Shelton (her current husband) when they first met back in September, 2005. Less than six months later, Blake and his first wife were divorced and he was seeing Miranda. So there were allegations of cheating at the time. Miranda nearly admits that’s what was going on, but then the clip, which is labeled “web only” on Dateline’s website, cuts off. So I don’t think the real interview has her full quotes, just this excerpt in which she sort-of admits that she knows what was going on between her and then-married Blake was wrong. People has some of her quotes below (the video is above), but again there’s no closure on them and I feel that they’re jumping to conclusions by saying she denied being a homewrecker.
[From People] I didn’t hear her deny being a homewrecker at all, that’s People’s interpretation of what she said. She just said she “knew better,” not that she didn’t do it. I’m going to leave it at that. In a lighter clip, Miranda admits that she has problems with Blake’s incessant drunken Tweeting, and she calls herself a “Twittow.” It’s pretty damn funny. She says “We have come to Jesus about those [tweets] all the time. For a while I was a ‘Twittow,’ You are in love with Twitter and I’m your girlfriend on the side. He’ll delete it from his phone sometimes, because he realizes he needs help… He promised me, the last time he put it back on his phone after he deleted it that he was going to keep it under control… we haven’t seen each other in a while, so I haven’t been able [to check].” Well, at least he’s not cheating with another woman, right?

Beyonce is allegedly due in February, and “hoping for a boy” Posted: 30 Aug 2011 07:36 AM PDT I know, I know - ANOTHER post devoted to the Beyonce-Jay-Z baby. Bey-beh? BeyZus baby? As you know, Beyonce announced her pregnancy at the VMAs. Some say it was a stunt queen move, some just thought she was happy and cute. And there were some who thought Beyonce's bump was padded, and that there is some kind of Bey-beh conspiracy afoot. In any case, there continues to be interesting news about Beyonce and Jay, and why not talk about it? So… Us Weekly claims that Beyonce is four months along, and Radar claims that her due date is February. Let me do the math! That makes some kind of sense. I think she's probably JUST past three months, which means her due date is likely end of February. Us Weekly also had this nice piece on how Jay-Z is beyond thrilled:
[From Us Weekly] I've thought for a while that Jay was beyond ready to have a baby with Beyonce - he's been talking about "baby-making" being his top priority for years now. Radar also reports that Beyonce and Jay are "hoping for a boy" because of Solange's son Julez: "Of course having a little boy for Julez to play with would be ideal, so they have their fingers crossed… But both Beyonce and Jay are just so happy to be having a baby, they don't care what it is!" I don't understand? Do they think that Julez wouldn't have fun playing a baby girl cousin, he would only have fun with a boy cousin? That reasoning makes no sense. That being said, I bet they are hoping for a boy, just because a boy could get away with Jay's features, you know what I mean? |
Angelina Jolie covers Vanity Fair’s October issue, talks about directing Posted: 30 Aug 2011 07:27 AM PDT Would you like a giant closeup of Angelina Jolie's head? Why not?!? Jolie covers the October issue of Vanity Fair, and I'll admit to squealing a little when I saw that she had gotten a VF cover again. I believe this is her fourth Vanity Fair cover in six years. She deserves it, although historically, I find her interviews with the magazine a little hit-or-miss. I usually enjoy her Vogue interviews a lot more. Anyway, Angelina did the cover because she's promoting her feature film directorial debut with In the Land of Blood and Honey. The photos were done by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. VF has already released some highlights from the piece:
[From Vanity Fair] As I've said before, I'm worried about this movie. A lot. I don't know how "You know, honey, it's not that bad" becomes "Let's give Angelina $15 million to direct her own script." Now, I'm glad that Angelina is challenging herself as an artist, and I think it's cool that she wrote a script and followed through and all of that. I will also defend Angelina against the accusations that the storyline she wrote is somehow offensive to women in general or Bosnian women specifically. My concerns about the film are more superficial than that - I just wonder if the film is going to be any good. Like, will it be watchable? Or will it just be a movie star's ego up there on the screen? |
Did Lady Gaga copy an Annie Lennox performance from 1984? Posted: 30 Aug 2011 07:00 AM PDT I know some of you were talking about this controversy yesterday in the Lady Gaga/Jo Calderone/VMA post, but I was going on too little sleep, and I totally missed it. Guess what people are accusing Lady Gaga of NOW? Ripping off another artist. SHOCK!! Only this time Gaga isn't ripping off Madonna or Bette Midler (or Christina Aguilera!). This time Gaga is being accused of ripping off an iconic 1984 Grammy performance by Annie Lennox/The Eurythmics. Now, first of all - I was alive in 1984, but I was much too little to watch the Grammys. And while I have never heard of this performance before today, I have to say that if Kelly Bleedin' Osbourne can reference it within minutes, it's probably very well-known. That's right - Kelly O. was the one to point it out on Twitter: [From Kelly's Twitter] The clip that she referenced (below) is of The Eurythmics' 1984 Grammy performance, in which Annie Lennox was dressed up in her drag kind gear, and she looked a bit like Elvis and Johnny Cash. Isn't it funny that when Gaga does the drag king thing, she just looks like a really busted, strung out Adam Goldberg? Here's the video from 1984: *sigh* I love Annie Lennox. So, so much. Amazing voice. And that song still sounds so fresh and amazing today, right? Okay, enough gushing. Once again, here's Gaga's performance from Sunday night: I won't judge you for going back up to Annie Lennox and watching that performance over and over. Annie is amazing. Now, as for the complaint that Gaga just jacked Annie's shtick… I don't know. Just because Gaga does the drag king thing, does that mean she's copying everybody who has done the drag king thing, forever and always. Of course I'm concerned about the very similar wiglets, and the similarly unfortunate sideburns (yikes). I think Gaga is a lot like Beyonce in these kinds of situations - both Bey and Gaga pay attention to what other artists do, what's new and what's iconic throughout pop music, and they both copy and rework. Madonna did too, come to think of it. Whatever. |
Sandra Bullock & Louis are spending more time with Ryan Reynolds Posted: 30 Aug 2011 06:58 AM PDT These are some new photos of Sandra Bullock and her son Louis. This kid… I love him. We don't get new photos of Louis very often, but that's okay. I prefer to only see him every couple of months. His amazing little face is worth it. He always looks so grumpy! And he's really aware of his surroundings too, watching the paparazzi with that little "Who do you think you're looking at?" face. Anyway, Sandy and Louis are back in LA after spending months in London, where she filmed Gravity, that project that producers really wanted Angelina Jolie to do (something about a woman trapped in a space station). Apparently, Sandy and Ryan Reynolds are still spending time together - he was photographed on his Ducati yesterday, driving over to Sandra's house (you can see the photo of Ryan here):
[From Us Weekly] Yeah, I still think they're just friends, but maybe that's because I'm one the few people who doesn't even like the idea of them together. I also don't like the idea that Ryan is the one who needs to "figure out" what he wants, like THAT is why he and Sandra aren't together. Sandra has got her own junk going on too. |
Kim Kardashian’s single “Jam (Turn It Up)” has a greasy music video too Posted: 30 Aug 2011 06:27 AM PDT A while ago, Kim Kardashian recorded a song called "Jam (Turn It Up)" which was produced by The Dream. The single was… awful. Kim really has no discernable talent - she can' sing, she can't dance, she can't act. All she can do is jack her cat-face and push her ass out. Which brings me to the music video for the single. Now, I think Kim filmed the music video early this year - like, February. Gee, I wonder why this thing was buried for months? Oh, right. Here's the "teaser" clip of the music video: Um, did we really need to see the ass shot of Kim crawling on the ground? Did her ass need to be so shiny?!? The camera came in so close, I felt like Kim's gynecologist (that poor bastard). You know what I just realized? This is, like, my epiphany of the day: Kim Kardashian is not sexy in the least. You can dip her in a vat of baby oil, you can jack her cat-face with Botox and fillers, you can throw a mountain of makeup on her, you can put her in poorly-cut vinyl, but at the end of the day, Kim has the sex appeal of a wet noodle. Yikes. In case you were just dying to hear the complete single: Photos courtesy of Kim's Celebuzz site. |
Dancing with the Stars Cast announced: interesting or same as always? Posted: 30 Aug 2011 05:46 AM PDT
[From OK! Magazine] We’ve seen Elisabetta Canalis try to dance and it’s not pretty. She’ll probably be out in a couple of weeks. Also, I could have sworn that Kristin Cavallari is the chick who is dating George Clooney now, but I always confuse her with Stacy Kiebler, who is his current piece (or she was a couple of weeks ago) and also participated on DWTS back in 2006. It almost doesn’t matter who we already know, though, because it’s usually the athletes who take home the mirror ball. I’m not as familiar with them. Here are the official cast portraits, from ABC. How much would you love to see Nancy Grace fall on her ass? Kristin Cavallari’s makeup is ridiculous. J.R. Martinez is an Iraq war veteran and soap actor and he sustained burns to his face in the line of duty. I’ve never heard of him, and he’s got an inspiring story. I loved Carson Kressley on Queer Eye. Chynna Phillips needs to lay off the ‘tox. Daivd Arquette should bring some laughs. He’ll probably wear some silly outfits. And you know Elisabetta is going to be all about the T&A. She’ll probably be hanging out more than Pamela Anderson did. |
